line of the day -‘even if you have the ability to hit a crapload of home runs, if you can’t hit to the opposite field or take a walk once in a while you’re not gonna play baseball.’

Really interesting on location episode. The main point when discussing the wine was that overoaked wines hide most of the secondary flavours and can easily be replicated cheaply. I totally agree!

    Unfortunately I don’t go to many wine bars in the Boston area. I do love going out and drinking wine, but it’s usually with a meal of some kind.

    Gary,
    Enjoyed the episode at the wine bar. Especially because I am in the process of opening one hear in Canton, Ohio. I like the idea of every so many episodes traveling to diff locations for the shows. Any love the ideas and it is so nice to see someone else get as excited as I do about wine and willing to share it without being over the top snobby. Thanks Adam

    The Wine Room in Winter Park, just North of Orlando, FL. For me it was the original Enomatic bar three or four years ago and I couldn’t keep my jaw from dropping to the floor. To the day I still think it’s the nicest one I’ve been to.

    My favorite wine bar is 58 degrees & holding in Sacramento, CA. In the Handle District downtown with restaurant and retail store as well as storage lockers, a great place to try wines from around the world. Especially convenient as only blocks from workplace, 15 minutes from home!!

  • QOTD: Unfortunately I have to say I don’t have a favorite at the moment. That system was amazing. Was it completely custom or something other companies can purchase?

    The Wine Loft in Carlsbad, CA. Great selection of hard to find boutique CA, OR and WA wines.

  • Sad but true, there are no great “wine bars” close by. Sad because I live in Napa Valley. I used to really enjoy Stave located in Napa but they shut down. Plenty of restaurants in the area that consider themselves wine savvy but no true “wine bars” If I had to choose one I would say Martini House

    I was pretty impressed with Mario Batali’s Otto wine bar in NYC when I visited there recently. Great atmosphere, great staff, great munchies and great wine. What else can you ask for?

    Hey – Cool place. Thanks for introducing us to it. One question – How do they prevent their wines from getting oxidized? What I mean is, how long ago was that bottle opened that you tried – 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week?

    Since I’ve never been to a wine bar, I’ll say the one at my house 🙂 And I like the prices better also!

    Gary, loved the last few episodes. I really liked your take on the Shafer and it was great to see you in your own space. This CLO looks like a great place to have a drink and I like that it really offers up some variety. Keep up the good work.

    I have a Rolf Binder ‘Heinrich’ a while back – it was phenomenal for £10.. fruit bomb-ish, but unbelievably smooth and balanced. So much better (and less alcoholic) than anything I’ve had from Molly Dooker.

    QOTD – There is a great store in London called The Sampler that has a similar set-up, but you can order in small/med/large glasses. Makes it a lot cheaper to sample some of the ‘wine icons’ when you can just buy a small sip.

    I love that you’re honest about wines, even to close friends. I noticed this change over the course of your episodes and its a refreshing feature of your show. So many shows cater to something for the benefit of money. You cater to honesty and wine, which is the advertised essence of your show.
